Why doesn't POST work in Django?

Question

Django

There is a form:

<form class="form-horizontal" role="form" action="{% url 'trucking:add_order' %}" method="post">
      {% csrf_token %}
      <div class="form-group">
        <label for="sending_office" class="col-sm-3 control-label">Пункт отправления</label>
        <div class="col-sm-6">
          <input type="text" class="form-control" id="sending_office" placeholder="Пункт отправления" />
        </div>
      </div>
      <div class="form-group">
        <label for="destination_office" class="col-sm-3 control-label">Пункт назначения</label>
        <div class="col-sm-6">
          <input type="text" class="form-control" id="destination_office" placeholder="Пункт назначения" />
        </div>
      </div>
      <p class="col-sm-3"></p>
      <a href="/trucking/offices" target='blank'>Список пунктов приема/выдачи</a>

      <div class="form-group">
        <label for="services" class="col-sm-3 control-label">Дополнительный услуги:</label>
        <div class="col-sm-6">
          <select multiple class="col-sm-6 form-control" id="services">
            {% for option in service_list %}
              <option>{{ option.name }} - {{ option.price }} руб.</option>
            {% endfor %}
          </select>
        </div>
      </div>

      <div class="form-group">
        <div class="col-sm-offset-3 col-sm-10">
          <input type="submit" class="btn btn-default" value="Заказать" />
        </div>
      </div>
    </form>

I'm calling from a script:

def add_order(request):
    sending_office = request.POST['sending_office']

Throws this exception:
MultiValueDictKeyError at /trucking/add_order/

Environment:


Request Method: POST
Request URL: http://localhost:8000/trucking/add_order/

Answer 1

You have not set the name attribute for text inputs.

Answer 2

Well, my eyes are blurry. Sacredly believed that only id is needed. Thank you!
